We have two 24 year old toilets that don't flush well so I plan to
have them replaced. The powder room has a standard 12" rough in so
there are lots of choices. My wife selected one whose style is
similar to the sink with dual flush capability and comfort height
quiet-close seat.

But the master bath only has 10" rough in which limits options
greatly. What would it cost (ballpark estimate) to have someone cut
the slab and relocate the drain two inches away from the back wall?
Or is this just completely impractical?


I had a shower drain moved as part of a bathroom renovation. Judging
from the work involved with that, I'd guess your change to be in the
$300 range. You can save a few bucks if you are willing to do some of
the work. Talk to the plumber and see how big of an opening he needs
and if yyou can do the breaking out and patching up. It is not high
skil, but more hard labor.

I've done it and replaced the flange with a 2" offset flange to move it
2" to the right. I did this to accommodate new cabinets. I did have to
rent an electric jack hammer. I thought I could just chisel it out, but
it was almost impossible. The electric jack hammer did it in a few
minutes.
